Mary Plantagenet
- Born: 11 March 1279, Woodstock, Oxfordshire
- Died: 29 May 1332, Amesbury, Wiltshire aged 53
General Notes:
Mary was also known as "Mary of Woodstock".
Mary was a nun at Amesbury Priory in Wiltshire. Mary was dedicated at Amesbury on Assumption Day 1285, at the age of seven, although she not formally veiled a nun until December 1291, when she had reached the age of twelve. Mary's parents granted her £100 per year for life (approximately £50,000 as of 2011).
Despite being resident at the priory, Mary began to travel the country. She visited her brother Edward in 1293, and regularly attended court, spending five weeks there in 1297.
